Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
HAS THERE COME unto thee the tiding of the Overshadowing Event? 1 Many faces will be contrite on that day, 2 Labouring, striving hard. 3 They shall roast into the scalding Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 There is no food for them except thorns of fire. 6 Which neither nourishes nor avails against hunger. 7 However, on that day the faces of other people will be happy. 8 Rejoicing over their efforts. 9 In a lofty Paradise. 10 hearing there no babble; 11 Therein will be a flowing spring, 12 Therein are thrones raised high, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions ranged! 15 And rich carpets (all) spread out. 16 What, do they not consider how the camel was created, 17 And the sky: how it was raised high? 18 And at the mountains - how they are erected? 19 And at the earth, how it is spread out? 20 Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer, 21 thou canst not compel them [to believe]. 22 However, he who turns away and disbelieves - 23 Allah will chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 Truly, to Us is their return; 25 And Ours their reckoning. 26
